City Suites Hotel

The room was small but comfortable, cozy and had everything we could need. The building was old but updated and well cared for. The history and architecture is still present. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for our visit to the Newport theater. We also enjoyed the thrift stores, record stores and nearby restaurants, and the diversity of people we met and talked with. My husband and I plan weekend getaways to different parts of the city whenever we can, we both had grown up visiting the Alley and nearby stores, but had never stayed in the area. Sadly, the Alley is gone (only to be replaced by a boycotted Target store). Our one rule for these getaways is to find unique, family owned restaurants. We do not eat at franchises or restaurants we have at home. It adds to the adventure and feel for the neighborhood. This area did not disappoint and we had a very pleasant and relaxing trip.

The location was great as we were visiting Clark Street Christmas bars! There are also many restaurants and everything you could need within walking distance. Check in was easy and there is an elevator. There was 24 hour coffee in the lobby and a microwave. There were 2 refrigerators in the King Suite...one as a very affordable mini bar and another for leftovers from Chicago deep dish leftovers! (delivered) The hotel was directly next to the train, but train noise was not an issue. (We did check and the train to ORD was 1hr. and 21 mins.) The rooms are heated by radiators, which work perfectly and the air conditioning is in the wall and controlled by the room occupant. The bathroom/shower was newly remodeled and loved the bright light! The bed was pillow top and super comfortable! There was parking available but we used spot hero easily.

Conveniently close to the train and bus lines, and good local eateries along with concert venues. Despite it being so close the the train line and a concert venue you don't hear outside noise so it's a ++ And the mini bar selection was also +++

Staff was courteous and pleasant. Always greeted with a smile. The facility, although older, is charming and clean. The bathroom was well lit and roomy. Bed was quite comfy and fluffy pillows. Plenty of hot water. The hotel was literally a 10 second walk from Red Line station which was so convenient.

The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable. The amenities were a nice quality. Location was convenient to the Belmont L stop (Red and Brown line) and close to several restaurants and shops - everything I needed was right there.
